    Brow presentation, where the fetus presents with the brow, requires careful management during labor. Vaginal delivery is contraindicated with maternal disease or fetal distress, necessitating Cesarean section in cases of cephalopelvic disproportion or abnormal labor.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Brow presentation occurs when the fetal head is extended, making the brow the presenting part.
    • Persistent brow presentation signifies a failure of spontaneous conversion to a more favorable cephalic presentation after labor onset.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the management strategies for persistent brow presentation during labor.
    • To identify indications for intervention and safe delivery methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature and clinical guidelines on managing brow presentation.
    • Emphasis on continuous fetal monitoring and maternal assessment.
    • Application of continuous lumbar epidural anesthesia.
    • Consideration of manual conversion techniques.

    Main Results:

    • Vaginal delivery is contraindicated in cases of maternal disease or fetal distress.
    • Cesarean section is indicated for cephalopelvic disproportion, non-frontoanterior fetal head position, abnormal labor, or fetal distress.
    • Continuous monitoring and epidural anesthesia are crucial components of management.

    Conclusions:

    • Persistent brow presentation requires a high index of suspicion and careful labor management.
    • Cesarean delivery is often necessary to ensure fetal and maternal safety.
    • Management should be individualized based on maternal and fetal status.
